Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider that a large nuclear power plant generates 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of electricity. Convert this power generation from gigawatts to Kilowatts.
Answer
Given:
Power in Gigawatts = 1.5 GW
Converting Power from Gigawatts to Kilowatts...
The formula to convert from Gigawatts to Kilowatts is:
Power(Kilowatts) = Power(Gigawatts) × 1e6
Substitute given Power(Gigawatts) = 1.5 in the above formula.
Power(Kilowatts) = 1.5 × 1e6
Power(Kilowatts) = 1500000
Therefore, 1.5 GW is equal to 1500000 kW.
2
Consider that a major city's electrical grid requires 2 gigawatts (GW) of power during peak hours. Convert this power demand from gigawatts to Kilowatts.
Answer
Given:
Power in Gigawatts = 2 GW
Converting Power from Gigawatts to Kilowatts...
The formula to convert from Gigawatts to Kilowatts is:
Power(Kilowatts) = Power(Gigawatts) × 1e6
Substitute given Power(Gigawatts) = 2 in the above formula.
Power(Kilowatts) = 2 × 1e6
Power(Kilowatts) = 2000000
Therefore, 2 GW is equal to 2000000 kW.

Gigawatts
A gigawatt (GW) is equal to one billion watts. It is used to measure large-scale power output, such as the capacity of entire power grids or large power plants. Gigawatts are used in the context of national or regional energy production.
Kilowatts
A kilowatt (kW) is equal to 1,000 watts. It is commonly used to express the power output of engines and the power consumption of electrical devices. For example, household appliances and electric vehicles are often rated in kilowatts.
